Well I was going to wait untill next week to post some S10 spoilers but..now Snewser had his confirmator posted at SNN.. ****

THE CONFIRMATOR RETURNSThink you know someone on Survivor 10: Palau? Are you related to an actual contestant and just can't resist the urge to see your loved one's name pop up first on survivornews.net? Give it a shot.SNNWednesday, December 8, 2004

The success of our previous confirmator for Survivor 9: Vanuatu was better than we could have hoped for. Every single contestant (with the exception of Chad and possibly the only one who knows how to keep his mouth shut) was guessed by an independent person somewhere out there in cyberspace. After hundreds of thousands of guesses (and a few scattered pearls from those with inside information) all 18 names were correctly revealed with your help before the official announcement.

Once again, from the most powerful halls of the showbiz empire, Deep Brute delivers with all of the names of Survivor 10: Palau.

Two have already been named correctly -- Texan lawyer Jolanda Jones, identified by ToastedCoconut, and Pennsylvanian student and counselor Ian Rosenberger, by PurpleRock (who'd have thunk it?).

The 10th cast appears to have a diverse flavor, ranging from the first Muslim person on Survivor, to a Las Vegas dancer.

If you think you know someone on the cast, then....

Survivor 10: Palau will reportedly be airing in March. One may then reasonably conclude that CBS will officially release the names of the contestants sometime in February. Expect the castaways to be back in the United States this weekend. Filming in Palau may be wrapped by the time you read this.http://www.survivornews.net/news.php?id=1060

* Also described as a "female Lex" - possibly our first heavily tattooed female contestant* Both arms are said to be fully covered in tattoos* Does watercolor paintings* Described as a packrat and is antisocial* Reads a lot* Loves bugs and has a strange obsession with circuses

Firstly, congratulations to biancaxxx for her excellent work this season and for correctly guessing the full name of “Angie” on Survivor News’ Confirmator to be Cassandra Jacusz.

Over the past few days, details have been pouring in about the “female Lex” who bartends at a popular New Orleans night club. After many hours of hard work and research, by both biancaxxx and myself, as well as many others, biancaxxx was the first to guess her name. The woman, who was known by “Angie” (her middle name) on the show, is described by one source as “obnoxious”, but also “someone who will talk to you about anything”.

“She has this punch that knocks me flat every time, and she’ll pick you up and give you another one. What a trooper!” claims one of her friends from the Lounge Lizards bar, where she works.

While there are no pictures of her (yet), we know that she has long dark hair and glasses, and has her arms fully "sleeved" with tattoos. She sometimes braids her hair and is also said to have several piercings. She is also an artist and enjoys creating watercolor paintings. Reading is also one of her favorite hobbies. She also makes her own clothes.

She is said to have a strange obsession with “bugs and circuses” and is reportedly very good at “working people” and “haggling” with them. She has never owned a car and bikes to and from work, so she should be in fairly good shape.

“Angie” has a very close relationship with her parents, but rarely sees her brother, who is in the army. She is currently in a committed relationship.

How will this self-described “pack-rat” fare on Survivor: Palau? We have a potential boot spoiler, but until then, you’ll have to wait until February 3, when Survivor: Palau is expected to premiere on CBS.

What is up with CBS having models/actors on their show? Can't they find people that are hard-working and need the cash and not these struggling dreamers? Oh, I guess the hard-worker can't afford to take the time off to piddle around on an island.

Take the map for what its worth ..Dan will update it as he gets more info .

ARRIVAL/ Speculation Well, we've all seen or heard the hype (see above) about a "dramatic" change in the game. But we're not biting, apart from the obvious change of 20 players. As you can see below, the preview featured a boat with 10 paddles, suggesting we'll be getting two tribes of 10. *Yawn*. Apart from that, the only obvious spoiler info in the preview was an image of (presumably a contestant) rowing using a paddle branded with a stingray logo.This suggests one of those two tribes may be called "Rrull," which is the Palauan word for stingray (also the name of a major chief from the 1920s). Fittingly, a stingray was a part of the Palauan fauna featured in the preview. Other solo animals shown included the sea turtle (uel or ngasech), octopus (bukitang), barracuda, shark (chedeng) and sea snake. We suspect the other tribe's name will likely be one of those, although we're partial to bukitang,

Oh they are real !! I tried several names .. the confirmantor will only accept real names..we ought to have some great spoilers this season, as you can see the castaways are a bunch of blabber mouths ..they cant keep a secret ..how else would snewser know their names already ? rumor has it that a regular poster at sucks was a S10 contestant..shhhh
